The third annual Air Show this year is commemorating the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, according to a press release from the Warsaw Munincipal Airport. The display of airplanes, aerobatics and the rolling thunder of World War II Warbirds is Aug. 14 through 16. One of the featured airshow acts, sponsored by the City of Warsaw, will be the Canadian Harvard Aerobatic Team CHAT. It is a flying tribute to the veterans of World War II. Flying four North American T6 Harvard aircraft, they perform team and solo aerobatic routines with the thunder of WWII-era engines, smoke and military precision, the release states. “We started this airshow as a grassroots barnstormer airshow. Our goal is for people to be able to experience history firsthand with all of their senses. We want them to smell the burning fuel, hear the roar and feel the thunder of the engines in their chest,” Executive Director and Airport Manager Nick King said. “It is our goal to not only excite but spark a passion for aviation in all generations, both young and young at heart.” Tickets for the third annual Air Show are now available for early purchase at all Martin’s Super Market locations. The cost is $10 for the Saturday show or $20 for a full weekend pass. At the gate, adults are $10 for Friday night, $15 for all day Saturday and $5 for Sunday. Students and military are $5 per day. Children 12 and under are free. For more information visit www.airshowofwarsaw.com or call the Warsaw Municipal Airport at 574-269-1337.
